Village People 빌리지 피플 - YMCA

▣ Village People 빌리지 피플 - YMCA

1978년에 발표된 빌리지 피플의 대표적인 히트곡인 <YMCA>입니다. 우리나라에서 수차례 내한공연을 한 기억이 나네요.

[YMCA 가사]

Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy

Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing

No man does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the YMCA
I'm sure they can help you today

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for you men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel

Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street
It's a place there called the YMCA
They can start you back on your way

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

They have everything for young men to enjoy
You can hang out with all the boys

It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down
Young man, young man, pick yourself off the ground

It's fun to stay at YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?

YMCA
You'll find it at the YMCA
No man, young man, does it all by himself
Young man, young man, put your pride on the shelf

YMCA
Then just go to the YMCA
YMCA
Young man, young man, i was once in your shoes
YMCA
Young man, young man, I said
I was down and out with the blues
